Adorable Food Goddess

The layout of the farm was planned by Ye Jiayao, and Manager Bai was responsible for the implementation. Ye Jiayao never came again after that. Unexpectedly, within a few months, the farm had changed so much that Ye Jiayao could hardly recognize it.

In the more than 20 acres of flower fields, red roses are in full bloom, dotted in the endless green, as if they are on fire, and the fragrance is astonishing.

Xiangtao and others had never seen such a spectacular scenery. It was so novel that they were amazed. If they were not afraid of losing their manners in front of their master, they would probably have thrown themselves into the flower field.

Xia Chunyu was also amazed: "I have seen ten miles of peach blossoms and a garden full of plum trees and a sea of ​​fragrant snow. I didn't know that this blazing rose would be so spectacular when it grew to a large scale."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "We have temporarily allocated more than 20 acres of land for planting. If there is a market for rose cakes, I plan to expand it."

"Rose cake?" Xia Chunyu frowned, then smiled slightly: "It sounds delicious."

Ye Jiayao said: "I'm going to do it today."

Xia Chunyu couldn't help but look forward to it. When it came to food, Yaoyao could do almost anything.

Steward Bai pointed to the dwarf trees in the distance and said: "That's the orchard over there, with apricot trees, pear trees, peach trees and orange trees. The vineyard is on the other side, but the fruit trees don't grow that fast. I'm afraid it will only grow this year." Eating grapes.”

Ye Jiayao said: "This is a long-term plan, it's okay."

Manager Bai added: "The breeding farm is behind the orchard, facing the river. The terrain there is open. If the prince is interested in raising a few horses, it would be a good idea to come over and ride them in his free time."

Xia Chunyu nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

Ye Jiayao glanced at the big black horse that was walking leisurely behind, and asked: "What kind of black horse is it? Is it very precious?"

Dahei immediately raised his ears and looked at Ye Jiayao warily.

Xia Chunyu said proudly: "Of course, Dahei is a purebred wild horse from the Tianshan Mountains. It is definitely not inferior to a sweat-blooded BMW. It is hard to find for a thousand dollars."

Dahei stretched his neck as far as he could, holding his head high, with a proud look on his face, as if he was saying that a sweaty horse is just a ball, if you have the ability to show off with me, I will swish you so hard that you can't even see the horse's tail.

Ye Jiayao squinted at Dahei, a sly smile flashed across her eyes.

"Such an excellent breed should be put to good use. Bai Guanshi, go to the market later and sell some good-quality mares, mate them with Da Hei, and give birth to a group of foals. Although they are said to be hybrids, I believe they will not Wherever it goes, we will distribute it."

Dahei trembled and snorted angrily in protest. I am the king of the Tianshan Mountains. On the battlefield, all war horses must obey me. I am a horse lieutenant general. How can I be used as a stallion to make money? What a waste of horses. Thinking about how many mares came to seduce me, I didn’t even look at them. Now that I think about it, I have failed a lot of good intentions. Humph, it’s not impossible to mate. At least I have to find a mare with the level of a BMW. , how can you just get a few vulgar horses in the market to deal with me, I will resist to the end...

Xia Chunyu glanced at the angry Dahei and said with a smile, "What a good idea you have."

Dahei is even more irritable, you are a worthless master, a master who forgets his friends because of his lust, I have been responsible for you going through life and death several times, you can find a good match on your own, then ignore me.

Xia Chunyu said again: "I guess He Lianxuan can bring back a few of Simon's bloody horses this time. Let's talk about it then."

Upon hearing this, Dahei immediately stopped his flags and drums, lowered his eyebrows, and danced happily with his hooves. Oh, my master understands my thoughts!

Ye Jiayao watched Dahei's reactions one by one and secretly wondered, could this guy understand human language? Have you become a sperm?

Regardless of whether it becomes a genius or not, think about the offspring of Dahei and Xianxuebama, they must be very powerful, and it is another way to make money! Oh haha, I do have a business head.

With that said, the group of people arrived in front of a simple courtyard. Manager Bai opened the door and asked the prince and the second young lady to go first.

"The prince and the second young lady arrived unexpectedly. I couldn't prepare in time, so I called Zhu Wang's wife and others to come and clean up at the last minute. However, the kitchen as the second young lady mentioned earlier is already ready," said Manager Bai.

Zhu Wang's wife came out of the house and saw the prince and the second mistress with complicated expressions. She was grateful and guilty. She had done something wrong, but the prince and the second mistress not only did not punish her, but also paid for the treatment of her child. , and arranged such a good job for them. This kind of kindness is something that even if you are a cow or a horse in this life, it is difficult to repay it.

"Your Majesty, Second Young Mistress, the house has been cleaned. If you need anything else, just give me your instructions." Zhu Wang's wife said respectfully.

Ye Jiayao was interested in the kitchen. No matter where she went, the kitchen was her place, so she ordered Xiang Tao and others to go in and check to see if there was anything else that needed to be added.

Manager Bai accompanied Xia Chunyu to see the newly dug fish pond, while Ye Jiayao dove into the kitchen.

When Xia Chunyu came back from visiting the fish pond, Ye Jiayao had already taken Xiangtao and the others to the flower field to pick roses.

Xia Chunyu had nothing to do, so he asked Steward Bai for a fishing rod to go fishing, and asked Yaoyao to make a sweet and sour fish for lunch.

Xiangtao and the others were all very excited. Last time, they helped the Second Young Mistress make some coconut paste. They didn't expect that such a light and unpalatable thing would turn out so delicious when sprinkled on the cake and rolled on the glutinous rice cakes. I believe the rose cake this time will be delicious, I can’t wait to try it.

"Second Young Mistress, can you pick these flowers and steam them and use them as fillings to make flower cakes?" Xiang Tao asked curiously.

Ye Jiayao chuckled: "It's not that simple. When you go back, you have to pick off the petals and remove the heart. Then wash them with water, dry them in the sun, at least two big suns, and then marinate them with honey and sugar to make roses. Flower paste can be used as filling."

Xiang Tao let out a sigh of disappointment: "It's so troublesome! I thought I could eat it tonight!"

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "Hurry up and work, otherwise, you won't have anything to eat when you get back."

Soon, the four people picked four large baskets and returned home fully loaded.

Ye Jiayao handed over the task of picking petals to Xiang Tao and others. Zhu Wang sent a large basket of freshly picked vegetables from the field, including tender green vegetables, bell peppers, tomatoes, lettuce shoots, etc. There were many kinds, and there were also There is a chicken and a duck.

Zhu Wang's wife rolled up her sleeves and said, "Second Young Madam, I'll kill the chickens and ducks."

Ye Jiayao went to the backyard and saw Xia Chunyu sitting by the pond fishing. He picked up one as soon as he swung the pole. Song Qi went to get the fish off the fishing pole. Xia Chunyu seemed to be in a good mood and laughed loudly.

Ye Jiayao smiled, it's really rare to have half a day to spare! Such pastoral joy, plain and peaceful, if only it could always be like this. Forget it, just let him go and start making lunch by himself.

Not long after, smoke rose from the small courtyard.

The chicken was brought to stew, the fresh mushrooms and the newly emerged spring bamboo shoots were stewed over a low fire, slowly releasing a rich aroma.

It's best to stew the duck to make it fat. It's a pity that there is no beer now. Otherwise, it would be a beer duck. Ye Jiayao swallowed her saliva and became greedy for the taste.

Stir-fry shiitake mushrooms with green vegetables. Stir-fry them in boiling oil before putting them on the plate. This will keep the color of the vegetables tender and green. If they are shriveled and yellow, they will not taste good.

Let’s take the most common and homely way of making tomatoes, scrambled eggs.

"Second Young Mistress, the fish the prince caught was made into sweet and sour fish." Song Qi brought in a few crucian carps that were passable and weighed about three or four.

Ye Jiayao was speechless. What kind of sweet and sour fish is such a small fish? I cut it from head to tail with just two knives.

Ye Jiayao said: "Tell the prince that if he wants to eat sweet and sour fish, he can catch a big one for me. With such a small one, I can only make braised fish."

Song Qi laughed and said: "Then I can't eat sweet and sour fish anymore. Manager Bai said that not long after these fry were put down, these ones are considered big. I picked them again and again."

"Take it and cut the fish open." Ye Jiayao ordered.

Alas, Song Qi obeyed and went to cut open the fish.

Xia Chunyu came up with the idea of ​​fishing, so he didn't put much effort into it. He just put more than twenty fish in the fish basket. Alas, it was too small, so he planned to put them back.

Manager Bai said: "Master, these fish have eaten the hooks and hurt their mouths. They won't last long if they are put back. It's better to use them all for food."

Xia Chunyu thought about it and told Bai Guanshi to buy more fry later, including carp, herring, and catfish.

Manager Bai said: "Don't dare to let the catfish in, otherwise the other fry will be eaten."

Uh...it turns out that fish are also cannibalized by the weak!

Song Qi had just cut open several fish when a fish basket was thrown in front of him.

"Song Qi, please fix these as well." Xia Chunyu Shi Shiran walked away with his hands behind his back.

Song Qi looked into the fish basket and almost couldn't sit on the small bench. Oh my God, they are all small fish as long as a finger. There are so many of them. How long will it take to cultivate?

After working for half an hour, lunch was ready, but they hadn't finished picking the peach petals yet. Ye Jiayao asked them to eat first and continue after eating.

The servants were eating in the kitchen, and Ye Jiayao brought the dishes to the room. I saw Chunyu crouching at his desk and drawing something.

"Chunyu, it's time to eat."

"Just come..."

He came as soon as he said it, but the dishes and chopsticks were all set, and he didn't even move his buttocks. Ye Jiayao leaned over to take a look. Spread out on the table was a map of the distribution of the farm, and Chun Yuzheng took a pen and drew on it.

"Are you designing a separate courtyard?" Ye Jiayao asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to build a waterside pavilion here in the pond and a nine-curved bridge here in the river. Then I'll get some Taihu stones to embellish it and plant some exotic flowers and plants..."

Xia Chunyu pointed at the distribution map and described the idea in his mind.

"Do you think this is okay?" Finally, he asked for her opinion.

Ye Jiayao didn't know much about architecture, but from what he heard, the pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water seemed very elegant. She nodded and said, "Okay!"

"I'm just giving a general idea, and the specific design will be left to Master Ji Ren." Xia Chunyu himself was very satisfied.

Ye Jiayao hesitated and asked, "Can we build another secret room?"
